Thanks again to Everett peeps

I want to again thank the people from Everett who offer so much support and information and whatnot to me and to all of us here in Newburyport.

Wow, you would not believe that some stinky piles in our respective cities would bind us together so tightly.

And - wow again - that nice reporter, Keith Spencer, from the Everett Independent wrote to me to apologize for misspelling my name and butchering the name of the blog in his latest piece on Wood Waste.

Actually, I'm just assuming he's nice because he did a nice thing ... but he seems pretty nice, from our limited back-and-forth over email.

As an aside, my sister (the one who lives in Gloucester, but who used to live in Malden) thought it was pretty amusing that I was mentioned at a municipal meeting in Everett.

Oh the fame! Oh the glory! or not ...

I know Keith Spencer and he is a nice person. He is not only a reporter for one of our local paper's he is also a school teacher and a soccer coach in Everett. He is an extremely hard working young man. We are fortunate to have him here in Everett.
